Vehicle Overview

The 2014 Audi Q7 is the flagship luxury SUV in the four-ring brand’s lineup, and the model serves well in that capacity. The large, seven-seat crossover comes in gasoline and diesel versions, with a wide range of features offered on all models.

The Audi Q7 is offered exclusively with the brand’s Quattro all-wheel drive system, and rides on a platform shared with corporate cousins Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg. A gasoline-fed supercharged, direct-injected 3.0-liter V-6 produces 280 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque in normal trim, and 333 hp and 325 lb-ft in S-Line models. Both versions are EPA-rated at 16/22 mpg city/highway. TDI models receive a 240-hp, 406-lb-ft turbodiesel 3.0-liter V-6 rated at 19/28 mpg. All engines come paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front double-wishbone steel spring suspension is standard, but an Adaptive Damping air suspension system is available for added comfort on- and off-road.

Despite the Q7’s size, we found it to be unexpectedly nimble, saying, “…dynamically, the Q7 is an elephant in ballet shoes. Unwieldy-looking, but surprisingly light on its feet. In Munich city traffic it drives small, easily squeezing through narrow country lanes and urban byways.” Power is also adequate with any engine choice, as the eight-speed transmission does a good job of shuffling through the gears at the right time.
